Trouble in Tampa?

[GatorTAG]

Although Winston started OTA's prcticing with the first string he has now been moved to second string. Mike Glennon is practicing with the first string.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Jameis Winston was the first pick in the NFL draft. But he was the backup quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday.

Third-year pro Mike Glennon took the first-team snaps during the organized team activity, and Winston worked with the second team. Coach Lovie Smith said Winston has gotten some first-team work at other OTAs, but the coach believes in letting his players earn their spots.
"Jameis and everybody else, you've got to earn your position. Jameis is getting his first-team reps,'' Smith said. "You guys are here on Thursday. There's Wednesday, and he was with the first group then, so don't look too much into that. We just want the guys that we think can play to get reps, and we want them to work with a lot of different combinations. Jameis is right on schedule. We're not disappointed or anything like that.''
Winston said he doesn't expect anything to be handed to him.
"I never was given anything in my life,'' Winston said. "The way I was brought up, I always had to earn everything. The main thing is to earn the respect of all these players out here.''
Winston said working behind Glennon is helping him develop.
"Just watching Mike and seeing the things he does, I'm trying to peek at everything that he has because he's been doing great,'' Winston said. "I look up to him, and the things he does are magnificent. It's always good to have a great guy in front of you, and it just helps you push yourself.''
Although Winston was known for his gregarious personality at Florida State, veteran wide receiver Vincent Jackson said the rookie has been keeping a low profile in the locker room.
"When you're a rookie, you're supposed to be in the background until it's time to step up,'' Smith said. "It's not Jameis' time yet. It will come, though, soon.''

Honestly, I used to like the Bucs but I'll be hoping they lose every game in blowout fashion while that have that POS on their roster.

My kids like the Bucs so I thought about buying some tickets this year. Then they drafted Winston.

They made a mistake plain and simple....I still don't understand how they thought this would ever work.

With Lovie Smith and Rapeis both in Tampa it's a Guaranteed train wreck. Can't wait to watch!!!!

TROUBLE IN TAMPA? I thought this would be a thread about Tampa area Publix supermarkets on high security alert. Maybe that comes later.

The trouble started when they drafted Rapeis. The way they are going they will become the Oakland Raiders of the east coast. Blowing first round draft picks and becoming a joke of a team. hey, a joke of a team, maybe that is why the drafted the clown.

No trouble here, just decent football process. Anybody who is anointed and does not earn their spot will destroy any team. I dislike him and his actions. I dislike Noles to a certain extent. If he stays out of trouble and plays the right way I have no problem with him. He will have to pay for his previous actions and I doubt that he will be able to stay out of trouble.

Whatever!!!

I was really hoping to go to a game this upcoming season as I've been wanting to the last couple years since living here. But yeah, that's not happening now.

If you don't think Winston will be starting the opening game, you're probably someone who calls him Rapeis and the like and don't have a grip on reality. Winston is the best quarterback to ever play college football, and you are hallucinating if you think he's not going to be an All-Pro in the NFL who will be enshrined in Canton. Ypu probably also think Tebow is an NFL quarterback nd will come up with excuses for him when, again, he's unable to make a roster. Get out and see the world, it's a lot different than you think it is.
